UPEC Board Approves Member Benefits

Wednesday, January 09, 2008

HEADQUARTERS - In the January UPEC Executive Board meeting, the Board approved a new retainer agreement with the law firm of Goyette and Associates and approved a plan to provide a free Notary Service. The legal services agreement provides for advice and consultation to all Local 792 Union members who make an appropriate request, on any legal matter. UPEC members can telephone G & A and talk to an attorney about their personal legal issues and get advice. Members are under no legal obligation to retain G & A for their legal matters.  However, should a member want to retain legal services, G & A will offer their service at a very reduced hourly rate. The retainer also covers services for UPEC affiliated associations such as Political Action Committee formation, Ballot Initiatives, Disciplinary Defense, Fitness for Duty Representation and many more. A full description of legal services and costs will be available soon on the UPEC website. UPEC hopes to have the Notary Service available in February 2008.
